PRIMATE PORTAL TO ASSIST RESEARCHERS WORKING WITH NONHUMAN PRIMATES

这个子项目是利用资源的许多研究子项目之一。 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。对子项目的主要支持 子项目的首席调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括美国国立卫生研究院的其他来源。为子项目列出的总成本可能 表示该子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 不是由NCRR赠款提供给次级项目或次级项目工作人员的直接资金。 目的：开发一个新的门户网站来帮助研究非人灵长类动物的研究人员。 威斯康星州国家灵长类研究中心(WNPRC)于2011年2月宣布推出灵长类门户网站，这是一个新的网站，为致力于或计划将非人类灵长类作为人类疾病模型的生物医学研究人员提供信息。 当研究人员准备从较小的动物模型转移到非人类灵长类动物时，他或她会发现确定适当的资金来源、合作者、动物群体和测试设施具有挑战性。灵长类门户网站包含由国家卫生研究院资助的项目和设施的详细信息，其中包括八个国家灵长类研究中心，以帮助研究人员找到他们需要的资源。 Primate门户可以由用户定制，以提供关于特定研究领域的资助机会、研究文章、会议和新闻故事的最新信息。Primate门户还包含数百个链接，指向从事生物医学研究的其他组织，按疾病模型分类，用摘要描述，并可通过深入分配元数据术语进行搜索。 对灵长类研究感兴趣的研究人员被邀请访问灵长类门户网站http://www.primateportal.org/并免费创建用户帐户。 欲了解更多信息，请联系WNPRC的Joseph Kemnitz博士，电子邮件：kemnitz@primate.witc.edu，电话：(608)263-3588，或WNPRC雅各布森图书馆的Ray Hamel，电子邮件：hamel@primate.witc.edu，(608)263-3512。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. Objective: To develop a new web portal to assist researchers working with nonhuman primates. The Wisconsin National Primate Research Center (WNPRC) announced in February 2011 the release of Primate Portal, a new website that provides information for biomedical researchers who work, or plan to work, with the nonhuman primate as a human disease model. When a researcher is preparing to move to nonhuman primates from a smaller animal model, he or she can find it challenging to identify appropriate funding resources, collaborators, animal colonies and testing facilities. The Primate Portal website contains detailed information about programs and facilities funded by the National Institutes of Health, including the eight National Primate Research Centers, to aid researchers in finding the resources they need. The Primate Portal may be customized by the user to provide current information regarding funding opportunities, research articles, meetings and news stories in a specific research area. The Primate Portal also contains hundreds of links to other organizations engaged in biomedical research, categorized by disease model, described with abstracts, and searchable through an in-depth assignment of metadata terms. Researchers interested in primate research are invited to visit the Primate Portal at http://www.primateportal.org/ and create a user account at no cost.
